Bake
Sale and Elections a Success! Thank you to everyone who helped with the Bake Sale and Executive Board
elections last week. Once again we beat our goal of $100 for the bake sale,
bringing in exactly $120.00, even with a competing bake sale
at the table right next to us!YEAH!!! (Just goes to
show that we had better treats!) The proceeds of the bake sale will
go towards our Summer Fellowship Fund.

In addition, 30 members voted in the Executive Board elections.
The races were all VERY close, but no ties, so a run-off election will
not be necessary. Winners will be announced at the Spring Reception
on Tuesday, April 27th at 5:30pm (the reception runs 4-7pm).
